Bachelor of Applied Arts and Sciences Religion Concentration

If you have an Associate of Applied Arts and Sciences (AAS) with a technical or vocational major from a Council for Higher Education (CHEA)-recognized organization, you can major in applied arts and sciences at ENMU. An applied arts and sciences major's time frame for degree completion varies with the individual student, but in general, the BAAS degree can be attained in two years.

This Bachelor of Applied Arts and Sciences concentration provides an opportunity for you to pursue moral and spiritual development through the study of religion. You will complete foundational courses in the Old and New Testaments and religious history. (rationale : The Book of Mormon is also referred to as a Testament, but we only deal with that in REL 402)

Each BAAS degree requires a student to have a primary concentration and a secondary concentration. Your vocational/technical credit takes care of your primary concentration area, and you'll take just eight classes (24 hours) to earn your BAAS with concentration in religion degree at ENMU.
